October 3 at 6:35.

More than 4,000 people of the 322nd Regiment of the 231st Infantry Division of the German Army were ready to attack at their respective starting points, and 6:40 was their agreed attack time.

The commander of the 1st battalion, Drassie, was observing the situation on his front, while Calvin was commanding the artillery positions of the 322nd Regiment.

THE ARTILLERY OF THE 322 BATTALION OF THE THREE BATTALIONS AND THE ARTILLERY OF THE REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS WERE ALL CONCENTRATED, WITH A TOTAL OF 12 LSF105 GUNS, 10 MEDIUM ARTILLERY GROUPS OF 10 REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS, AS WELL AS 3 FLAK-20 (ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS, 91MM CALIBER) OF AN ANTI-AIRCRAFT COMPANY, 12 PAK-20 ANTI-TANK GUNS IN 4 ANTI-TANK ARTILLERY PLATOONS, USING MODIFIED RM-30 CANNONS, CANCELING AUTOMATIC LOADING AND REPLACING MANUAL RELOADING, REDUCING THE RATE OF FIRE.

"Nervous?" Vader looked at a recruit beside him and shuddered a little as he held the G20 new semi-automatic rifle in his hand.

"Sir, sort of." The recruit was quite honest, and then regretted it a little, "Sir, I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, I'm nervous about going to war for the first time." Vida pointed to the other side, "You're lucky, the enemy is Italy." But unfortunately, the Italian 59th Infantry Division on the opposite side is a master who dares to fight hard with the tank battalion, and our 231st Infantry Division specializes in fighting their hard stubble, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

The 231st Infantry Division was not conscripted, except for veterans who were still serving after the end of the war, all the supplementary soldiers were either veterans transferred from other armies or volunteers to enlist, and they were very different from those who went to the battlefield with a large sum of money, they had no room for regret, let alone a choice.

"I understand, sir." The recruits chatted a few words and obviously relaxed.

At 6:40, all units of the 322nd Regiment began to move towards the woods in unison, and the 1st Company was suppressed by the Italian fire as soon as it jumped out of the defensive line, half of the whole company was sealed in the open field, and the remaining half began to accelerate to the edge of the woods and lay down to find cover.

"Get it all up! 1 row, what are you doing! Go back and take your people forward for me! The company commander struggled to run back and forth among the soldiers lying on the ground, trying to get the group out of the enemy's sight.

Puff puff puff –

The recruits who did not dare to move on the ground did not dare to stand up despite the company commander's kicking and shouting, and some of the recruits began to crawl forward slowly on the ground, and stopped when the bullets landed nearby.

The three platoon commanders and veterans of each squad who were called back by the company commander also began to join the drag operation, dragging the recruits away from the open space one by one, and the constant shots, screams, and screams made the recruits of the 2nd company on the right feel a great shock, and the fear spread like colorless and odorless arsenic.

"Keep an eye on what lies ahead of you!" The commander of the 2nd Company did not want this negative sentiment to spread, and asked the herald to inform the commanders of the divisions to keep the veterans out of the periphery.

The commander of the 1st Company was unfortunately shot and fell in the clearing, and the adjutant immediately took over the command of the troops.

"What the hell is 1 company doing!" Drassie watched as the 1st Company was locked up at the edge of the woods, and the anger came up in a flash, and half of the people were still lying in the clearing.

"I guess it's a recruit, this is normal, let the observer go." Calvin wanted artillery support.

"Forget it, the 1st Company did not provide a position, it is difficult to strike effectively, don't disrupt the rhythm of other attacking troops at that time." Drassie didn't want the stagnation of the 1st Company to change the entire front.

"Let the logistics squad bring 2 mortar teams over to support, and the other troops will keep the original plan unchanged." Drassie made a few adjustments.

Dirt and debris continued to rise into the air under the impact of bullets, and the pressure on the 1st Company was relieved a lot as the units found cover.

The adjutant of the 1st company found the platoon commander of the 1st platoon.

"Find a way to find out where all the machine gunners on the opposite side are, and send someone around from the left flank." The platoon commander of the 1st platoon received the task and selected 2 squads to set off.

"Where's the platoon commander of the 2nd platoon?" The adjutant shouted.

"Sir, the platoon commander of the 2nd platoon is wounded." A herald gestured to the right, where a paramedic was resuscitating.

"Who's in command?"

"It's Sergeant Lauzi."

"Let him take the 2nd platoon as the 1st platoon fire cover, and the 3rd platoon and the 2nd company to act together."

The deployment of the 1st Company had just been redeployed, followed by the roar of gunfire from the mountains, and the 322nd Regiment's 1-kilometer offensive line was counterattacked by the Italian defense, and the momentum was completely suppressed.

Requests for artillery support began to be received in the regimental headquarters.

Calvin, who had been guarding the artillery position at the regimental headquarters, was the first to receive the request.

"Firing area, D131, first round." Calvin covered his ears after the report.

Boom Boom Boom –

The medium artillery LSF150 was the first to fire, and 10 guns poured shells out in turn, and the sound of artillery was deafening.

Boom Boom Boom –

Next came 3 battalions of 12 105-mm guns to shoot the shells.

Calvin then picked up a telescope and carefully observed the shelling.

Hearing the sound of artillery in the distance, the platoon commander of the 1st platoon quickly shouted to the soldiers who were still running back.

"Hidden! Take cover! It's friendly shelling! "The platoon commander of the 1st Platoon of the 1st Company retreated to cover with his flanking squad, which had just provided firing positions for friendly troops.

These shelling positions are pre-planned in advance, each company will have 2~3 area maps, which are divided into equilateral size squares, each square is about 500 square meters, the observer against the reference report given on the map to the company, and then conveyed to the battalion headquarters, if there is no need to report, generally directly by the battalion headquarters of the 4 105 mm artillery shelling, the first round will be a school shooting, the shooting parameters of each gun will be a little different, and the shooting also has a time difference, about 1 ~2 seconds for easy identification by the observing hand.

"Adjust the bearing, add 100 yards, three groups of dense shooting!" Calvin looked through the telescope and exchanged data with the observer.

Boom Boom Boom –

There was no longer a pause in the shelling, and all the artillery was fired in unison under the command of the command of the order flag, and in a short time, the marked D131 sector in the distance was covered three times by shells from 22 guns, and the gunfire in the direction of the Italian troops stopped abruptly.

"1 company!" The adjutant of the 1 company half-crouched on the ground immediately after the shelling. "Forward!"

All the soldiers of the 1st Company immediately climbed out of their bunkers, jumped over the obstacles and began to sprint, they had to rush to the advantageous position to strike before the Italians could reorganize their effective firing points.

The simultaneous charge on the left flank was the 1st platoon leader with two squads diagonally inserted into the Italian position, but at this time the Italian troops had already begun to climb out of the trenches and began to retreat.

DadaDaDa -

Seeing that it could not catch up, the 1st platoon began to beat the Italian troops with their backs to themselves on the spot, killing many people for a while.

At the other end of the battle line, the 7th, 8th, and 9th companies that had launched the charge had already eliminated the Italian positions and captured a group of Italian soldiers who had not yet had time to retreat.

"Leave 2 people to guard the prisoners, and the others move on." The commander gave the order, and the soldiers set out deep into the forest, where they were the last clearing to rush to Heights 2165.

"Sir, the 1st and 2nd Battalions have taken D100 and E100." Amid the cacophony of the regimental headquarters, an intelligence officer is reporting on the progress of operations at the front.

"No local main forces were found, just some outposts."

"This damn 59th Division is really difficult, as if it knew that we would counterattack."

The lieutenant colonel was not satisfied with the effect of this counterattack, the attackers were always at a disadvantage and would suffer greater casualties than the defenders, and the 322nd Regiment's attack this time was to free up space for the artillery regiment of the 322nd Division to provide fire support.

"The 1st Battalion continues to advance to the left, the 2nd Battalion is stationed on the spot, and the 3rd Battalion continues to complete its mission and continues to advance to the right until new orders are issued." The lieutenant colonel picked up the radio after giving the order, which was connected to the division headquarters.

Sneer-"Call the division headquarters, Thunder 1 has taken most of the established area, and the artillery regiment can start deploying." "The lieutenant colonel was anxious for the artillery regiment of the 322nd Division to be stationed to provide more artillery support for the front-line troops.

Sneer—"The division headquarters received." ”
